Tired

It's 1am... do you know where your children are? I do. Mine are asleep and so is my husband. I, on the other hand, am sitting up in the attic freezing cold and wide awake. I can't wait to get my Netbook back, so I can return to my old obsessive ways of being able to check in online at the blink of an eye. Why do I do it to myself? I know I am going to have to wake up early and that I should get a good night's sleep, but I guess I am just a glutton for punishment. I think I was so busy with the kids and work today and tonight that I am just going to enjoy some alone time right now if it kills me.

Today I ran for 40 minutes which is the most I've been able to do so far. That brought me closer to 4 miles, but that still is a long way from 10. There are 5 weeks left until the big run and so far I am feeling pretty confidant that I won't have to cross the finish line with any medical assistance. I think what I really need to do is use the old carrot on a stick thing and instead of a carrot use my old stand-by, a slice of pizza. I'm happy to report that I have significantly decreased my pizza consumption, much to the dismay of my pizza loving Nathan. I swear it's the only substantial thing he eats other than waffles with peanut butter.

This week has been super busy for me. I'm helping to organize an area playgroup and I was all over the place meeting new people in the group. I brought the kids to a very kid-friendly coffee shop (genius!) Tree House Coffee Shop, Please Touch Museum in Philly (extremely stressful watching both of them at the same time w/o Ben), Kid Junction in Mt. Laurel, and finished it off with a Moms Night Out at The Tortilla Press in Collingswood. I will dedicate a whole post to a review on The Tortilla Press, as I was VERY disappointed and will never go back. It is so true that when you have a bad experience you tell many more people than if you had had a good one. I will post more on that tomorrow if I get a chance!!

Right now I need to go to bed.... Ollie boy has been waking up at 5am due to what I can only assume is teething, and I can never fall back asleep right away after he goes back to sleep.

Good night and sweet dreams!
